Abstract

We compute rational points on genus 3 odd degree hyperelliptic curves C over \(\mathbb {Q}\) that have Jacobians of Mordell–Weil rank 0. The computation applies the Chabauty–Coleman method to find the zero set of a certain system of p-adic integrals, which is known to be finite and include the set of rational points \(C(\mathbb {Q})\). We implemented an algorithm in Sage to carry out the Chabauty–Coleman method on a database of 5870 curves.

The global height is the absolute logarithmic height of the point, which is the maximum of the absolute logarithmic heights of its coordinates. For a rational point \(\frac {n}{d}\), this height is computed as \(\max (\log (|n|),\log (|d|)).\)
